<p>Coordinates are relative to the glyph origin, using the y&nbsp;upwards convention.</p>
<p>If the glyph has been loaded with <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE</a>, &lsquo;bbox_mode&rsquo; must be set to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_UNSCALED</a> to get unscaled font units in 26.6 pixel format. The value <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_SUBPIXELS</a> is another name for this constant.</p>
<p>If the font is tricky and the glyph has been loaded with <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE</a>, the resulting CBox is meaningless. To get reasonable values for the CBox it is necessary to load the glyph at a large ppem value (so that the hinting instructions can properly shift and scale the subglyphs), then extracting the CBox which can be eventually converted back to font units.</p>
<p>Note that the maximum coordinates are exclusive, which means that one can compute the width and height of the glyph image (be it in integer or 26.6 pixels) as:</p>
<pre class="colored">
  width  = bbox.xMax - bbox.xMin;                                  
  height = bbox.yMax - bbox.yMin;                                  
</pre>
<p>Note also that for 26.6 coordinates, if &lsquo;bbox_mode&rsquo; is set to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_GRIDFIT</a>, the coordinates will also be grid-fitted, which corresponds to:</p>
<pre class="colored">
  bbox.xMin = FLOOR(bbox.xMin);                                    
  bbox.yMin = FLOOR(bbox.yMin);                                    
  bbox.xMax = CEILING(bbox.xMax);                                  
  bbox.yMax = CEILING(bbox.yMax);                                  
</pre>
<p>To get the bbox in pixel coordinates, set &lsquo;bbox_mode&rsquo; to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_TRUNCATE</a>.</p>
